Abstract
SUMMARYThe effects of intercropping roselle with blackgram, cowpea, soyabean, groundnut and sesame under single, double and triple row planting patterns and at three different intercrop sowing dates were studied from 1983 to 1985. The fibre yield of roselle was reduced by intercropping. The reduction was least with groundnut and greatest with cowpea but was compensated for by the yield of the intercrops. Double and triple row planting systems favoured the productivity of both roselle and the intercrops, increasing the Land Equivalent Ratio (LER) of the cropping system. The best yields of roselle were obtained when the intercrops were sown 15 days after the roselle.
